Tune in here to this ​Tuesday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!

Breaking Brett Jensen concludes his “Freshman Congressman” series by speaking with U.S. Rep. Addison McDowell, who just surpassed one year representing the citizens of North Carolina’s 6th Congressional District. Similar to previous interviews, Jensen asks McDowell about his experiences during his first year in Congress. McDowell cites the voting on and passage of the Laken Riley Act, which occurred during his first month in office, as an early victory during his freshman term. When asked about the biggest moment of his first year, McDowell says being with President Donald Trump when the Fentanyl Act was signed into law was the highlight. On a local level, he discusses securing $3 million for a new health sciences center at Davidson-Davie Community College as another important achievement.

Later, Jensen asks McDowell about his thoughts on the recent ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota. McDowell says the shooting in Minnesota shows that Democrats are “villainizing” law enforcement officers who are trying to carry out their jobs, and emphasizes the need to support the officers who work every day to keep American citizens safe.

Tune in here to this ​Monday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!

Breaking Brett Jensen continues his "Freshman Congressmen" series, speaking today with U.S. Rep Pat Harrigan, who marked one year representing the citizens of North Carolina's 10th Congressional District. When Jensen asks him to reflect on his first year in Congress, Harrigan says progress has been made in setting a trajectory for the country’s future. One area he cites is the Working Families Tax Cut Act, where Congress was able to limit the federal government’s reach into the pockets of American citizens. He also references other pieces of legislation, such as the National Defense Authorization Act, as successful accomplishments during his freshman term.

Pertaining to current events, Jensen asks Harrigan for his thoughts about the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces. Harrigan, a West Point graduate and former Special Forces officer, emphasizes that it was a complex operation for the U.S. to carry out from both personnel and aircraft perspectives. He describes the operation as one that illustrates the unique and unmatched capability of the U.S. military and says it is a point of pride for Americans.

Tune in here to this ​Friday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!

Breaking Brett Jensen kicks off the show by discussing an interview he conducted with Olivier Faye of Le Monde, France’s newspaper of record. Faye traveled to Charlotte from Paris to speak with Jensen about the stabbing of Iryna Zarutska on Charlotte’s light rail system in August of last year. During the interview, Jensen asks why Le Monde is interested in an American crime story involving Zarutska. Faye explains that news of the incident has spread rapidly on French social media in recent months. He says he made the lengthy trip to Charlotte to gather the facts firsthand so he could provide an accurate report to readers in France.

Jensen then continues his “Freshman Congressmen” series, speaking with U.S. Rep. Tim Moore, who recently marked one year representing North Carolina’s 14th Congressional District. At the start of the interview, Jensen asks Moore to reflect on how the expectations of the job compared with the reality of his first term. Moore says serving in Congress has been “an honor,” particularly given “the times in which we live.” He adds that seeing the United States regain respect on the international stage is among the positive developments he has witnessed during his first year in office.
